There is some inconsistency with which sister Jeptha was actually married to as Eliza Ann and Julia were
twins. Jeptha is the correct name for a husband according to the DAR Library in Washington, but there is
evidence that suggests that he was married to Julia. The following is from the History of Marlboro County,
SC: pg. 88 and 89 ... "Mrs. Jeptha Adams and Mrs. Noah Gibson were twin sisters and so nearly
alike in size and features, and dress and voice, that persons not altogether
familiar with them found it difficult to distinguish one from the other, and
as the young maidens grew up they sometimes amused themselves by innocently
playing "Who Is It?" Is it Julia or Ann? Young Jeptha thought he knew them
apart, and likewise thought he loved Julia. Ann suspected that a courtship
had begun, and on one occasion, when Jeptha made his appearance at the old
Fletcher homestead, she got the start of her sister, placed herself "in the
way" and sure enough "Jep drew up beside her" and began to whisper in her ear
the soft tones of his tender emotion. Smiling at her success in the discovery
of the secret she fled from his presence and sent Julia to his side, who not
long afterwards became Mrs. Jeptha Adams; the mischievous Ann in time became
Mrs. Noah Gibson. With only the State line and a mile of intervening space
between them, the twin sisters dwelt side by side until Mrs. Gibson went over
the line that separates earth from heaven."
